Lidded Jars

For this Blog post I decided to go "off the grid" and take a look at other artists.

Jon Oakes

Raku finishing is not yet in Wikipedia, but what a great effect. From Pinnacle Gallery: "The colors and designs of Jon Oakes' vessels and plates with Raku finishing have made his work very popular with interior designers and ceramic collectors. From beautiful 6" lidded pots to spectacular vessels over 4 feet tall, he attains brilliant colors that rank his Raku pieces as the best we've been able to find anywhere."

Natalie Blake

I think it's nice when people find their "thing" and make it a success. From Pinnacle Gallery: "Natalie Blake is a widely respected ceramic artist who is best known for her urchin-topped vessels. Her pieces exhibit fine details in sculpted designs that portray an organic feel."

Tania Rustage

Sugar-fired vessel with driftwood handle. It almost looks like fine stone, glass or amber.

Hsinchuen Lin

These birdhouses are really great and I bet they are fun and easy to make. Here's a vessel with a unique handle on the lid that caught my eye.

Barbara Dunshee

Just a bit of the whimsy. She must have had fun throwing the lid on the wheel, or did she?
